Scott# 2794 is for a 29 cent Christmas - Toy Soldier with perf 11-1/2 that is die cut and self adhesive. Is there a Scott# for the same stamp without perforations on all sides?

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

Also #2803 is die cut, but it is a snowman and not a toy soldier.

re: 29 Cent Christmas - Toy Soldier 1993

on the straight edge toy soldier, that's from a booklet, BK212, containing the four different designs: 2799-2802.

I think this was one of the booklets that was dispensed from machines, and was made from a plastic film rather than paper. At least that's what I remember. Can someone confirm.

re: 29 Cent Christmas - Toy Soldier 1993

There are a few errors in this thread. To set the record straight, here are all the formats of this 1993 Christmas issue which consisted of four designs.

1) Pane of 50 with water activated gum. All stamps from this pane are perforated on all four sides.
2791 - Jack-in-the-Box
2792 - Reindeer
2793 - Snowman
2794 - Toy Soldier

2) Booklet of 2 panes of 10 with water activated gum. The 2 panes have different arrangements of the 4 designs such that the booklet contains 5 of each design. The 2 panes are numbered 2798a and 2798b in Scott. All stamps from the booklet will have 1 or 2 straight edges. The booklet stamps are smaller than those from the pane of 50. The complete booklet is numbered BK212.
2795 - Toy Soldier
2796 - Snowman
2797 - Reindeer
2798 - Jack-in-the-Box

3) Self-adhesive pane/convertible booklet of 12, 3 of each design. All stamps from this pane have straight edges all around. This pane was sold over the counter and not from ATMs or other vending machines. Scott does not assign BK numbers to convertible booklets. They are only given minor numbers. The full pane of 12 is numbered 2802a. These were also issued as a coil, but other than the Snowman design, which may have a plate number, the coil stamps are indistinguishable from the booklet stamps once removed from their backing paper.
2799 - Snowman
2799a - Snowman stamp with plate number
2800 - Toy Soldier
2801 - Jack-in-the-Box
2802 - Reindeer

4) Self-adhesive ATM pane of 18, Snowman design only. All stamps from this pane have straight edges all around. This pane was sold from ATMs. As with convertible booklets Scott does not assign BK numbers to ATM panes. The full pane of 18 is numbered 2803a. This pane is on normal paper, not plastic. The stamp is smaller than #2799.
2803 - Snowman

Scott notes some differences in the number of snowflakes and buttons among the Snowman stamps from different formats.
